​Borealis GeoPower Inc. announces that Kitselas Geothermal Inc. (a partnership between Borealis GeoPower and Kitselas Development Corp.) has completed a pre-feasibility study for their concession at Lakelse Lake, BC, approximately 10km South of Terrace, BC. Subsurface temperatures, based on available geothermometry, have been estimated to exceed 150° Centigrade at a depth of approximately 2,000m. The reservoir area has been estimated to be approximately 15km2 with an average thickness of 500m.

These results indicate 5,300 petajoules ("PJ") of thermal energy in place may exist, relative to 15°C, that is estimated to be capable of yielding at least 23 MWe of continuous electrical power over a 30-year span. Minimum subsurface information data are available. A continued surface exploration program and confirmation drilling plan that consists of drilling to a depth of no more than 2km, are anticipated.

​Borealis GeoPower Inc. announces that they have completed a pre-feasibility study for their concession at Canoe Reach, BC, 15 km South of Valemount, B.C. Subsurface temperatures, based on available geothermometry, have been estimated to exceed 200° Centigrade at a depth of approximately 1,000 m. The reservoir area has been estimated to be approximately 30 km2 with an overall thickness of 500 m.

These results indicate 11,200 petajoules (PJ) of thermal energy in place may exist, relative to 15°C, that is estimated to be capable of yielding at least 58 MWe of continuous electrical power over a 30-year span. Subsurface confirmation drilling needs to take place before a more accurate understanding of the resource can be made.
